The Pros And Cons Of Treaty 6

433 Words2 Pages

Treaty 6 was signed on August 23,1876 at Fort Carlton and less than a month later on September 9, 1876 in Fort Pitt. Some Chief’s had expressed concern regarding being able to sustain this new way of life. They did not want to potentially lose touch with their way of living and the resources their lands possessed. The First Nations people had requested that the government aide their people with agricultural assistance, as well as help during times of famine, and pestilence. The Canadian Government was also asked if they could assist them with modern medicines. This lead to the creation of the medicine chest. Therefore these few aspects have allowed Aboriginal people to become part of something larger and transition into a new era.

  • The Unsatisfactory: The Stopping Of The Jays Treaty

    121 Words  | 1 Pages

    12) Jays Treaty was named after a man named John Jay. The British were seizing US ships and Washington sent Jay over to make the British stop. However, Jay returned with a “not so perfect” treaty. The treaty accepted Britain’s right to stop neutral ships, required the US to make “full and complete compensation” to the prerevolutionary war debts, allowed Americans to submit claims for illegal seizers, and required the British to remove their troops and Indian agents from the Northwest Territory. The stopping of the neutral war ships were the most unsatisfactory because it meant that they now had a trading alliance with Britain.

    The Indigenous groups involved in previous treaties found that the government of Canada and Ontario were not living up to their promises and that settlers were encroaching on non-negotiated land in their northern hunting territories. The government then assigned a commission in 1923 that was comprised of Sinclair, McFadden and Williams (Hall, 2011). The treaties were then negotiated as people had already settled on the territory of the eight communities of Indigenous people that were involved. The Williams treaties were comprised of two separate treaties each looking at different land masses, the one directly related to our geographical location being the second signed between the commission and the Mississauga communities, this land stretched from lake Simcoe to the shore of Lake Ontario. The Williams treaty also included the land that was originally within the gunshot treaty, but unfortunately did not include the Mississaugas of New Credit First Nation whose ancestors who were a part of the original treaty.

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Great Compromise

    697 Words  | 3 Pages

    The main reason why the Framers didn’t succeed in their final compromise is because it was too difficult to make all the delegates (who were basically competing) agree with each other, so numerous issues were ignored and most plans were severely compromised. An example of this is the debate between larger and smaller states over their representation in the newly proposed Senate. Two solutions were significantly favored: the New Jersey Plan and the Virginia Plan. The smaller states were in favor of the New Jersey Plan, which would enforce each state to send the same number of representatives to Congress. The larger states supported the Virginia Plan, which called for each state to have a different number of representatives based on the state’s population.

  • Edward Said's Theory Of Representation Of Orientation

    1507 Words  | 7 Pages

    Until recently, the western trained archaeologist and anthropologist constructed the identities and histories of the Aboriginal people. The western hegemony which still existed in the anthropological and archeological practice effectively silenced the indigenous voices. The identity of the Indigenous Australians does not rest in an imagined Australian Aborigine, but in the multiplicity of names and identities. However, Anthropology is instrumental in constructing the one Aboriginal identity through the operation of language. Therefore, the Aboriginal people, who became one in order to redefine their cultural identity, seek to re-appropriate their past from the colonialist anthropological and historical narratives.
